Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” network legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin accused President Donald Trump of making “constant attacks on black people,” in light of the president’s negative comments about CNN’s Abby Phillip and American Urban Radio Network’s White House correspondent April Ryan.

As he was teasing the segment ahead of a commercial break, Carlson dubbed such knee-jerk cries of racism as “the left’s most common and laziest attack.” And as the segment began, he elaborated on that analogy by describing it as an “involuntary habit, a tick-like saying ‘God bless you’ after somebody sneezes. If they may not even be aware they are doing it.”
